The next morning I'm not sick but Mitch is still worrying which I ignore and help braid Maya's hair. Blade has mostly been ignoring me which is fine and I don't really care but it's weird, Maya keeps watching me and I flip her off.
It's Mitch's turn to drive so I get the front seat, I space out and don't hear anything from any of them my mind is blank and I can't feel anything. I forgot this part of being pregnant it's as if I'm not really there but I am, I get really spacey and it's-it's I don't know it's just weird.
"Winter, Winter!" I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Mitch who is shaking me.
"Stop it I'm back." I muttered cause he was still shaking me. I get out of the car and wave to Maya as she heads to her school.
"What's wrong with you?" Blade asks me as he slings his arm around my shoulders, I grunt but don't say anything about his arm on me.
"Nothing's wrong with me I'm just um I don't know." I mutter walking into the school.
"I gotta go see you guys later." Blade tells us than starts walking away.
"Hold up I'm coming to!" Mitch kisses my forehead and runs after Blade, I smirk and head to English 2.
Fuck my life though because Alec is waiting by my locker. I kinda just glare for a second then continue to my locker not looking at him, while I grab my books he said. "Not even a hello? I'm hurt."
"Hello Alec."
"Wow that sounded like it hurt to say." Alec said sarcastically making me glare at him and sigh annoyed because it's too early for this.
"I didn't have coffee this morning so I don't want to hear any sarcasm right now." I grab his arm and pull him into class, I heard his breathing hitch when I grabbed his arm but I ignore it cause I don't really care.
I let him go when we enter and I hear him sigh sadly, I raise my eyebrows at him because why? He smirks at me so I just walk to the back of the class with Hope following me. "You okay?"
"I'm fine but I haven't had coffee so go away." I wave my hand shooing her, she rolls her eyes and leaves me be. Dom sits in front of me and Sarah sits beside me and Alec sits in front of her while smirking at me.
"Morning." Dom smiles at me but I just glare, "What's wrong?" he asks me but I don't answer I just stare till he turns back around.
"No coffee?" Sarah asks I glare at her and she just smiles at me. "I'm gonna take that as a yes."
"Alright class let's get started." Mr. McCormick said and I swear Sarah looks pissed off by him, well at least that made me smile.
I'm dazed for most of class but I still answer when Mr. McCormick asks me questions and honestly I think he's doing it on purpose to annoy me because he asked me six questions in a row.
When class is over I get up and run smack into Dom because he stopped walking, "Ow why would you stop walking?" I ask him and now my nose hurts because it hit his shoulder blade.
He turns to me and stares at my stomach than my face and back, "Why are there-" he stops himself and starts again. "Have you had sex recently?"
"Fuck you Dom!" I snap and walk past him Alec is waiting at the door, "What?" I ask grumble at him.
"You really need coffee so you won't be so touchy." Alec throws his arm over my shoulders and I do my best to not whack him over the head.
"Didn't have time to get any this morning but I'll get some at lunch now please remove your arm from my shoulders before I whack you." I glare at his hand but he doesn't move it he just pulls me tighter to his chest.
"You're really moody today so I'm not gonna take that personally."
"Class. We need to get to class." I mutter walking faster to Algebra 2, because the urge to punch him in the face is getting stronger.
"We're almost there calm yourself." Alec slows my walk by putting pressure on my shoulders and slowing his walk, I grunt as someone behind us hits my shoulder with theirs as they pass and mutters sorry.
"Why are we going slow?" I glare at him as we round a corner.
"Because I want to."
"I will punch you if you don’t start walking faster."
"Fine." He speeds up just as we get there, I glare at him and walk away from him throwing his arm off me.
"You're an ass." I sit beside Hope near the front, she smiles at me and I just squint at her than smile a bit.
"I'm not an ass I'm just annoying to you." Alec mutters in my ear as he passes me and then he sits behind me.
"Shh!" I turn toward him, "Yes your very annoying so be quiet." I hiss at him than turn toward the front of the class.
"Quiet down everyone and let's get started." Ms. Fell said in a hard tone, I open my Algebra book and my notebook.
Alec tugs on my hair and I swear I see the kid that's next to me face pale because I probably look like I want to murder someone. I just play with my pencil and try not to snap at Alec for touching my hair.
He touched my hair five times during class and I'm about to punch him but lucky for me the class ends and I grab Hope's arm and drag her to the girl's bathroom.
"What's wrong?" She looks at me with concern.
"What is wrong with Alec? Why won't he stop messing with me? I mean he doesn't even know me! Why does he act like he knows me?" I feel my cheeks warm as I exclaim my annoyances to her.
"Woah Winter calm down. Is he um annoying you?"
"Yes I've never wanted to kill someone as much as I want to kill him not even Jet comes close to how much I want to murder Alec." I lean against the bathroom door as does Hope.
"Really cause I remember you did actually try to kill him when you were six." Hope reminds me, making me flinch because if someone hadn't pulled me off I might have done it.
"I was able to last a week before I snapped and now I may or may not snap today or tomorrow."
"Wow he really is getting under your skin isn't he?" I glare at her and she just smiles a bit. The warning bell rings so we head out to go to our classes.
Mr. Flare stares at me when I enter and I stare back till he looks away, I sit down in the back between Alec and Sarah.
"Why does he stare at me?" I ask Sarah, she raises her eyebrows at me and I nod my head toward Mr. Flare who glances at me right then. "Shit." I mutter sinking down a bit in my chair because now I have his attention.
"Umm. I don't know maybe he thinks you're weird." Sarah replies and I glare at her.
"I'm not weird you asshole!" I snap at her but not out loud, she flinches as do I.
"Um what the hell was that?" Her voice is sharp but I don't answer I just stare straight ahead because fuck! I can't believe I did that! What the hell is wrong with me?
I stayed silent for the rest of the class and I knew Sarah was watching me and Mr. Flare kept glancing at me. Alec doesn't even look at me which doesn't bother me because I have enough people watching me. When the bell rings I'm out of my seat in seconds and in the hallway, I rush to the bathroom and lock the door. I barely make it to the toilet before I throw up, I sit back on my heels sighing.
"Fucking hell!" I flush and walk to the sink, the person I see in the mirror has glossy jade green eyes and dark circles around them. Her black hair is in a messy bun, she looks broken. The girl in the mirror looks so fucking broken and so fucking skinny.
I leave the bathroom not wanting to see that train wreck ever again. Mitch is waiting for me, I sigh and hug his arm to my chest as we head to Biology together. "I saw you rush into there so I waited." Mitch tells me bumping his head on mine.
"Thanks now walk faster." I pull him toward our next class he chuckles and allows me to drag him to class where Sarah and Dom are talking in the front of the class.
"I'm coming with you to the back cause I don't feel like talking to all of these people." Mitch follows me which is a little surprising since he usually loves people.
Dom and Sarah smile and wave, I wave back but continue past them to the back. Mitch sits next to me as class starts and for the life of me I can't stop thinking about the kid in my stomach. I know how bad my life can get and it scares me that it might end up dying before it's even born.
"Hey you okay?" I snap out of my thoughts to see that most everyone is out of the class. Sarah is giving me a confused look but I shrug it off.
"Yeah I'm fine I just didn't hear the bell go off." I hock my arm in hers as we leave the class room.
"How did you not hear it?" I glare at her as Mitch comes to my other side and links arms with me. "Oh joy he's hear."
"Be nice! Mitch is nice just give him a chance."
"Yeah give me a chance cause I'm not a bad person."
"Maybe you are maybe you aren't." Sarah responds as we enter the cafeteria, I roll my eyes because she doesn't have a reason not to like him. "Anyone know where Alec is?"
"Uh over there." I point over to the other side of the cafeteria where he, Mac and Tara are.
"I'll be right back." She tells us going toward them, Mitch and I head to the lunch line.
Suddenly a girl with golden eyes and hair turns and faces me with a mixed expression. "Hi I'm Mayra and you are?"
"Uh I'm Winter and this is my step brother Mitch." I give her a small smile that she returns and winks at Mitch making his face turn red.
"Nice to meet you guys. OH! Did you guys hear about the possible new Winter Moon Alpha?"
"Yeah Raven told me." I respond slowly, great a werewolf wonderful.
"Wait Raven from the Spring pack?" I nod making her gasp and pull me out of the lunch line fast. Mitch watches amused by Mayra pulling me out of the cafeteria so I flip him off right before we exit.
Mayra keeps my arm in her hold as she walks out of the school which is starting to freak me out a little because I do not know her. I see a guy with almost blue hair and the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen, he looks at us with surprise as a another guy jumps onto his back. He has white hair that looks really messy, his crystal blue eyes suddenly snap up and meet my jade ones.
"Mayra who did you bring?" The white haired kid asks Mayra looking kinda annoyed. She smiles at him and brings me closer to her side.
"This is Winter and she knows Raven somehow."
